Cant access technologies in control.lua[Solved]

[Kabaril]

I just wanted to print out all technologies into a file, but for some reason it doesnt show a single one:

Control.lua

Code: Select all

require("libs/logger")

local function GetTech()
LOGGER = Logger.new("datascan", "technology", false)
LOGGER.log("Start")
local dummyforce = game.create_force("dummy")
dummyforce.enable_research()
dummyforce.research_all_technologies(false)
dummyforce.reset()
for _, tech in pairs(dummyforce.technologies) do 
LOGGER.log("Name\n")
LOGGER.log(tech.name)
LOGGER.log("\n")
end
end

local function onInit()
	GetTech()
end

script.on_init(onInit)

This is using the factorio stdlib logger, but it only prints "Start"

Don't call LuaForce.reset() because it does what name implies - it will reset researched techs.

Also there is a dictonary technology_prototypes that might give you all the info without need to create a force.

Why are you using a library to do logging when you can just do: log("your contents here") ?

Thanks! My problem is solved now

Thanks! The problem was actually the logger, which for some reason only printed one line.

The only reason i used it was to get all of the log into a separate file, but im not sure if that is possible

The default setting for the logger is to only write the log after xxx ticks, however it needs to be triggered after xxx ticks to flush. I havn't looked at the code recently but I think doing a LOGGER.write() should dump it right away.

Console#Write_all_researched_technologies_to_file

Code: Select all

/c local list = {}
for _, tech in pairs(game.player.force.technologies) do 
	if tech.researched then
    list[#list+1] = tech.name
  end
end
game.write_file("techs.lua", serpent.block(list) .. "\n", true)

Thanks to everyone, It works now.
